This was such a slow burn! I wanted to keep reading about Lucie and Aiden so much that I put off chores and wanted to skip work to keep reading, which doesn’t always happen for me. The found family was so special. I wish we really got to know Aiden more. There was only one or two scenes where the author really dove into who he is. This was on track to be 5 stars for me, but some of the spice felt off for me, particularly use of a word that had me actually put the book down. Will definitely read the next in the Heartstring series!
